"Kyiv has been refusing to exchange 500 Ukrainian prisoners of war for four months. Zelenskyy has taken away only 38 Azovets, and Ukraine does not need all the rest," such theses are spread by enemy channels.

The Center for Strategic Communications says that manipulations on the topic of prisoners of war are one of the most cynical methods of Russian special services and propaganda.

In fact, Ukraine remembers every defender and makes every effort to ensure that all prisoners return home as soon as possible. The Ukrainian authorities constantly insist on the "all-for-all" exchange procedure.

• Earlier, President Zelenskyy said that the exchange of prisoners of war "all for all" is possible until the end of the war.
